Julie Duncan, MN Psychologist LP4663

Julie Duncan is a licensed psychologist in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, addiction, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and caregiver strain. Julie aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable for people at any stage of care.

She brings three years of community mental health experience to her work and has supported people with a wide range of concerns. That includes people on the autism spectrum and caregivers raising children with autism spectrum disorder. Her background also includes work with individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Julie uses a warm, interactive style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people set goals and try practical steps that fit daily life. Conversations often include checking thoughts and behaviors, and finding small changes that reduce stress and improve coping.

Her methods draw on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. She combines these approaches to match what each person needs, whether the focus is mood, addiction, or parenting support.

People new to therapy are welcomed, and Julie aims to create a calm, respectful space to talk things through. She works collaboratively so clients can see what helps and make adjustments as they go.

How her approaches work in online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on your priorities and your experience. The therapist listens closely and follows your lead to build trust and clarify what matters most. This approach helps when people need a supportive space to talk through feelings and family or caregiver stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions shape mood and behavior. CBT uses short, practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage depression, or address panic and mood swings. It can be useful when someone wants tools they can use between sessions.

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to boost readiness for change. It helps people weigh options, find personal motivation, and make plans for things like reducing substance use or sticking with self-care goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Julie will help figure out what fits your goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant to everyday life.

Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make regular appointments easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and needs.
